‘We need to hit the ground running,’ says Stormers’ Dawie Snyman
The Stormers start their URC season with two away clashes in the UK against Connacht and Edinburgh.
Stormers' assistant coach Dawie Snyman expressed optimism about the team's approach to their United Rugby Championship (URC) season, set to kick off with a visit to Connacht in Galway on Friday night. The Stormers are targeting at least one or two wins during their tour, despite the challenges posed by playing against Connacht and Edinburgh, who did not finish in the top spots last season.
Snyman emphasized the importance of early preparation, stating that arriving early in Ireland and having a full week to recover would be beneficial for the players. He acknowledged that the 4G surface at the Sportsground in Galway would be a significant challenge, noting that it alters the ball's behavior and impacts scrums and tackles.
Snyman stressed that the team is aware of the surface's peculiarities and is focused on making necessary adjustments to adapt to the game.
